Students ask me this all the time. My answer is let's build one consistent simple swing and use it across the set, driver included with just some minor setup tweaks. I know we're going to all adapt and adjust with the driver but the key is to keep any changes very small and manageable. Consistency starts with being consistent.

Should My Driver And Iron Takeaways Be The Same? I’ve always thought the takeaway is one of the most important parts of the golf swing for amateur golfers to work on. Get it reasonably right and you give

Simply amazing. So much to learn from here and emulate. While I'm not always in favor of trying to do it like Rory, let's be honest even tour pros don't try some of the things he can do, these positions are textbook, and a good guide for every golfer.

Tell me why you think you should be aiming at the flag again....scratch golfers from around 100 yds are 30+ feet away on average. No wonder you can't break 90.

The Stat: Between 75-125 yards, a Scratch golfer will hit it to 39 feet from the pin, on average, whereas a 15 HCP will hit it to 60 feet. However, from 175-225 yards out, a Scratch golfer will hit it to 82 feet from the pin, whereas a 15 HCP will hit it to 166 feet.

The Takeaway: Just about any time a sub-10 Handicap is able to pull out a wedge for their approach shot, they expect the next shot to be a tap-in for birdie. Well, the data says otherwise. It should be re-assuring for all higher Handicap golfers to know that the typical Scratch golfer hits their approach shots to roughly ~39 feet from 75-125 yards.

That said, there’s a noticeable difference as approach shot distances move further away from the hole. Lower handicap golfers are decidedly better when hitting approach shots outside of 175 from the hole, in some cases getting their approach shots 2-3x closer to the hole.

Testing out some new tech.
